Does anybody have any legitimate concerns about imbalance, or has anybody noticed any glaring errors/omissions? If not we'll have to push the boat out....

Nothing yet of significance that i know of.....although several months now after Rail Europe has gone live....there is a call from some to adjust the bonuses on two small bonus lines. Is there any chance the boat can be left at the dock for a while longer while some games finish....this is a large map to conquer.

This is a switch: the Boys In Blue pushing to quench the map, and the mapmaker saying "Let's take it slow".

Does anyone know how many games have been played on Rail Europe and Rail Africa, just to get an idea of how many it might take to get people to call for adjustments?

Because G Line has only 3 territories attacking it,whereas N Line has 7 territories attacking it.

hmmmm but in both cases you need to stack on three territs to defend the bonus. But I'm not very experienced with mapmaking (and I hardly play flat rate/ no spoils games) so maybe my opinion should not count that much. And since I hold the N bonus in the game that I'm playing on this map...

These bonuses are what bonus creator template makes, and these bonuses were supposedly gone over by the gameplay guys, so if they're happy with them....

On that note....

Just noticed that there is a slight spelling error on this map.In the legend, Line E is called "L'Algerian" (with the accent - can't type accents on this computer).However, in the game log, it is called "L'Algerien", which is the correct French spelling.

If it's too late to correct it, I understand, but I just wanted to bring that to your attention.

Best,sempai
